"We are looking for a Trade Finance SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the

Philippines. The SME will own the Trade Finance product stream (e.g., Trade 360/Trade Finance platform), representing

the module in solution design discussions and ensuring the To-Be design meets business and regulatory requirements.

This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core

banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product

vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.

Prepare and own Interface Specification Documents (ISDs)/functional and technical design documents, and drive
